Adults Padel Racquets

How to choose your adult padel racquet?

The different types of padel racquets

Round padel racquet

Features: a round padel racquet has a low balance point, which means the weight is distributed towards the handle. The sweet spot is wider and more centered.

Advantages: Offers better control and is easier to handle, making it ideal for beginners and defensive players who value precision over power.

Diamond padel racquet

Features: a diamond-shaped padel racquet has a high balance point, concentrating weight at the top of the racquet. This allows for more powerful strokes, but with a smaller, higher sweet spot.

Advantages: favors power over control, making it ideal for offensive players who want to score points quickly.

Teardrop padel racquet

Features: a teardrop-shaped padel racquet offers a compromise between the first two types, with an intermediate sweet spot. The sweet spot is also larger than it is on the diamond-shaped racquet but is smaller than on the round racquet.

Advantages: a balance between control and power, making it ideal for a versatile playing style.

Choosing a padel racquet according to your level of play

You’re a beginner

If you're a beginner, choose a lightweight padel racquet for easy handling. You should also choose a padel racquet with a round or teardrop shape, for tolerance and control.

You’re an advanced player

If you're an advanced player, be sure to choose a teardrop or diamond shaped padel racquet. This will allow you to combine power and control.

You’re a competitor and play in tournaments regularly

If you are a competitor player you will need a high reactivity racquet that help you to perform in a high level. You usually opt for diamond-shaped racquets, which are ideal for players who already have a lot of control and who want even more power.
